Ÿþm Icrosoft W GREATER GEELONG PLANNING SCHEME 21.14 THE BELLARINE PENINSULA 06/01/2011 C194 21.14-1 Key issues and Influences 28/01/2010 C129(Part 1) The Bellarine Peninsula comprises a series of contained townships separated by rural and coastal areas. The rural and coastal areas on the Bellarine Peninsula form an important non-urban break between settlements. They are highly valued for their scenic attributes, tourism function, environmental function and lifestyle appeal. The Bellarine Peninsula is one of the fastest growing areas in the City of Greater Geelong. Population growth on the Bellarine Peninsula is being driven by the attractiveness of the peninsula as a relaxed lifestyle destination within close proximity to urban Geelong. Appropriately managing urban growth on the Bellarine Peninsula will be critical to retaining the peninsula’s identity and attributes. 21.14-2 Objectives 06/01/2011 C194 . To protect and enhance the rural and coastal environment on the Bellarine Peninsula and maintain non-urban breaks between settlements. To facilitate the development of Ocean Grove, Drysdale/Clifton Springs and Leopold as hubs of development and service provision on the Bellarine Peninsula. In all other townships on the Bellarine Peninsula provide retail, commercial and community uses and facilities that serve the daily needs of the community and encourage street based activity. To provide for sustainable industrial, commercial, retail, agricultural and tourism development in designated locations, to service the wider Bellarine community.

  • DUCK HUNTING in VICTORIA 2020 Background
    DUCK HUNTING IN VICTORIA 2020 Background The Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 provide for an annual duck season running from 3rd Saturday in March until the 2nd Monday in June in each year (80 days in 2020) and a 10 bird bag limit. Section 86 of the Wildlife Act 1975 enables the responsible Ministers to vary these arrangements. The Game Management Authority (GMA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of game hunting in Victoria. Part of their statutory function is to make recommendations to the relevant Ministers (Agriculture and Environment) in relation to open and closed seasons, bag limits and declaring public and private land open or closed for hunting. A number of factors are reviewed each year to ensure duck hunting remains sustainable, including current and predicted environmental conditions such as habitat extent and duck population distribution, abundance and breeding. This review however, overlooks several reports and assessments which are intended for use in managing game and hunting which would offer a more complete picture of habitat, population, abundance and breeding, we will attempt to summarise some of these in this submission, these include: • 2019-20 Annual Waterfowl Quota Report to the Game Licensing Unit, New South Wales Department of Primary Industries • Assessment of Waterfowl Abundance and Wetland Condition in South- Eastern Australia, South Australian Department for Environment and Water • Victorian Summer waterbird Count, 2019, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research As a key stakeholder representing 17,8011 members, Field & Game Australia Inc. (FGA) has been invited by GMA to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting and provide information to assist GMA brief the relevant Ministers, FGA thanks GMA for this opportunity.

  • Water for Victoria Discussion Paper
    WATER FOR VICTORIA DISCUSSION PAPER Water for Victoria Managing water together Water is fundamental to our communities. We will manage water to support a healthy environment, a prosperous economy and thriving communities, now and into the future. 1 Aboriginal acknowledgement The Victorian Government proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely. We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us. We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice. 2 1 Throughout this document the term ‘Aboriginal’ is used to refer to both Aboriginal and Torres 4 Strait Islander people. Use of the term ‘Indigenous’ is retained in the name and reference to 3 programs, initiatives and publication titles, and unless noted otherwise, is inclusive of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 5 6 8 7 Previous pages images courtesy, 1 North East Catchment Management Authority; 9 2 and 3 Mallee Catchment Management Authority; 4 South East Water; 5 Museums Victoria; 6, 8 and 9 Melbourne Water; 7 Western Water The Premier of Victoria The Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Over the past twelve months, we have travelled across Victoria to hear from local communities about water.

    Word about the Hood Biannual newsletter of BirdLife Australia’s Beach-nesting Birds Program Edition 15 – June 2016 UPDATE FROM THE BEACH-NESTING BIRDS TEAM Source: Glenn Ehmke Renée Mead and Meghan Cullen, Beach-nesting birds interim Managers! The birds started on time this season (August), and had many of us off guard at how quickly the season took off! Normally there’s a spattering of nests recorded along the coast, and then it really starts to pick up and get into the swing of things in late September (depending on the region). But the birds started in August, and then kept going, and going, and going, with the last fledgling recorded in Belfast Coastal Reserve in Far west Victoria in mid April. The Beach-nesting Birds team have been busy delivering and finalising grants, and supporting our diverse Friends of the Hooded Plover groups across southern east Australia. We’ve been busy on Eyre Peninsula, Samphire Coast, Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, in Victoria we’ve been all along the Great Ocean Road, Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast – and everywhere in between! Late in January, Coast and Marine Program Manager, Dr. Grainne Maguire went on maternity leave! This was a bit sudden as itty bitty little Elara was born early. Grainne would like to pass on her disappointment at not getting to say a temporary goodbye to everyone and apologises for leaving some things unfinished. After a long four months, Elara is out of hospital. She is a well loved member of the BNB team, and little sister to Kai! We want to congratulate Grainne on
